Wife’s Sourdough
When SWMBO gets into sourdough and now you both have an interest in yeast culture

Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing.

Re: Wife’s Sourdough
One of next season batches is going to be a sourdough fermented batch of bourbon. I have made beer using my sourdough as the yeast and it came out fine. Had a flavor similar to an English ale, so quite a few esters. I think they will be fine in a whiskey.

Re: Wife’s Sourdough
Planning in about a half gallon, say 1300 grams or a bit less as there will be plenty of bubbles in it since I want a good active starter. For the 5 gallon batch of beer I used a little under 2 cups.

Re: Wife’s Sourdough
Thanks I make sourdough a lot. Was always curious in a healthy starter how much is yeast to flour. It's an experiment I will get to.
